| Finally, the casting is ready and can be removed. The casting is in the foreground and the opened mould in the background. Notice the reinforcing metal rod running up and down the statue's lenght and poking out of the capital above its head. This will be used for attaching the statue to the cement table top. It also gives the entire table strength and rigidity so that it won't crack with use. |
